What equipment is NOT used to protect a towing hawser?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Halyards and snap hooks.
Halyards and snap hooks are not used to protect a towing hawser. Towing hawsers are typically protected using equipment such as Norman pins, tow spans, seizing wire, rope yarn, marline, hawser boards, and chafing gear. These items help prevent chafing and damage to the hawser during towing operations. In contrast, halyards and snap hooks are used for hoisting and securing objects, not specifically for protecting towing hawsers.
